I also checked out Vince's site. Vince gives good information there concerning problems with the use of model A tappets on the B cam. All of my engines are model A but I run B cams in a couple of them. I knew that the base of the tappets were different but was told at some time in the past that B lifters were also longer. Vince doesn't mention difference in length so maybe it isn't so. I allways used the adjustable single lock lifters and they are a lot easier to work with and have had no problems with them.
